Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for replicating the hepatitis C virus.
- the invention also relates to a method for screening for inhibitors of the hepatitis C virus.
- non-A non-B The hepatitis C virus or HCV, identified in 1989 by the team of Choo (Choo et al., 1989), is the major agent of viral infections long called non-A non-B hepatitis.
- the terminology "non-A non-B” was introduced in the 1970s to designate hepatitis whose etiological agents, not yet identified, appear to be serologically distinct from hepatitis A and B, thanks to the implementation of immunological tests ( Feinstone et al., 1975; Prince et al., 1974).
- infection with the hepatitis C virus is characterized by a strong predominance of asymptomatic forms and the frequency of progression to chronicity.
- Molecular cloning and sequencing of the hepatitis C virus were initially carried out by Choo et al. (1988 and 1989) and confirmed by other teams (Kato et al., 1990; Okamoto et al., 1992; Inchauscher et al., 1991). Sequential analysis of the HCV genome reveals an open unique reading phase, the initiating AUG of which is in position 342 of the genome.
- the 5 'non-coding region of HCV is involved in the translation initiation process by the presence of an internal ribosome entry site or IRES (Tsukiyama-Kohara et al., 1992; Reynolds et al., 1995).
- Protein C with a molecular weight of around 21 kDa, containing 173 amino acids, is the capsid protein.
- This protein is the main constituent of the HCV nucleocapsid.
- the carboxy-terminal region located between amino acids 174 to 191 constitutes the signal peptide of the glycoprotein E1. This sequence is cleaved by a signalase.
- the capsid protein C of very basic composition, due to its richness in amino acids argmine and lysine (23.5% of amino acids in the N-terminal region) could be involved in AR-protein interactions.
- the glycoproteins El and E2 of respective molecular weights 31 and 70 kDa, constitute the envelope glycoproteins. These are type I membrane glycoproteins, they each have a hydrophobic domain at their carboxy-terminal end. In addition, they each have a hydrophobic signal sequence at the N-terminal end allowing a translocation in the endoplasmic reticulum and a maturation of these proteins by cellular signalases.
- Amino acids between 174-191 and amino acids between 371-383 of the HCV polyprotein correspond to the signal peptides of glycoproteins E1 and E2.
- the last amino acid of the E2 sequence is located at position 746 of the HCV polyprotein and the last amino acid of the E1 glycoprotein is at position 383 of the polyprotein which implies that the signal peptide of the E2 glycoprotein from El.
- the NS3 protein is a 70 kDa protein. Located between amino acids 1027 and 1657 of the HCV polyprotein, it has two distinct functional domains: the N-terminal part of the protein codes for a protease and the C-terminal domain for an NTPase / helicase dependent on TARN.
- the NS4A protein is a protein with an apparent molecular weight of 8 kDa. It is located on the polyprotein between amino acids 1658 and 1711.
- the HCV NS4B protein with a molecular weight of 27 kDa has no known function to date.
- the NS4B protein is located between amino acids 1712 and 1972 of the HCV polyprotein.
- the NS4B protein appears as a basic protein.
- the HCV NS5A protein with a molecular weight of 56 kDa is a protein which interacts with the NS5B protein and probably participates in the replication of HCV.
- the NS5A protein is located between amino acids 1973 and 2420 of the HCV polyprotein of genotype la. However, according to the different genotypes observed, this protein can have different amino acid insertions: it thus comprises 466 amino acids for the genotype 2a, 452 amino acids for the genotype 3a whereas it only comprises 466 amino acids for the genotype la . If the main function of this protein is still unknown, it nevertheless has some characteristics. Thus, the expression of a 56 kDa protein and a 58 kDa protein was observed. It corresponds to phosphorylation and hyperphosphorylation of the NS5A protein leading respectively to the production: proteins of 56 and 58 kDa.
- the NS5B protein with a molecular weight of 68 kDa is positioned between amino acids 2421 and 3011 of the polyprotein.
- the hepatitis C virus seems to express its pathogenic power exclusively in the liver of infected patients or animals (Negro et al., 1992).
- attempts at viral propagation on human hepatocytes or coming from chimpanzees have led to abortive cycles (Lanford et al., 1994).
- Other work reported by Seipp et al. (1997), and concerning the infection of different cell lines (HuH7 and HepG2) or cells of porcine origin (PKI 5) have revealed the possibility of viral infection and replication. It is currently difficult to envisage exploiting these cellular systems for massive viral production.
- European patent application EP 1 043 399 relates to a system for the cell culture of the hepatitis C virus, which mainly comprises eukaryotic cells containing a specific genetic material of the transfected HCV, characterized in that the eukaryotic cells are cells human hepatoma and that the specific genetic material of the transfected HCV is an HCV RNA construct, which includes the specific HCV RNA segments: 5'NTR, NS3, NS4A, NS4B, NS5A, NS5B and 3'NTR as well as an additional "marker" selection gene (selection gene).
- the cells concerned are HuH7 cells of human hepatomas and the genotype of the hepatitis C virus used is the genotype lb (Lohmann et al., 1997). However, this replication process is not applicable to the genotype la of HCV.
- HCV hepatitis C virus
- one of the aspects of the invention is the use of cells which have particular cellular factors, allowing replication of the genome of the hepatitis C virus in these cells.
- One of the other aspects of the invention is the use of these cells for replication as well as the multiplication and therefore the production of the hepatitis C virus.
- One of the other aspects of the invention is to provide a new method of replication and production of the hepatitis C virus genotype la, by transformation of appropriate cells.
- One of the other aspects of the invention is to provide a novel method for screening for anti-HCV agents and thereby to provide inhibitors of the hepatitis C virus.
- the invention relates to the use of cells capable of carrying out a process of prenylation of proteins encoded by the hepatitis C virus (HCV) genome, such as the prenylation of the NS5A protein, for replication and, where appropriate. where appropriate, the production of HCV or viable mutants derived therefrom, in an appropriate culture medium.
- HCV hepatitis C virus
- a particularly interesting modification is the prenylation which corresponds to the alkylation of a cysteine by a farnesyl (15 carbon atoms) or geranylgeranyl (20 carbon atoms) group, these groups being derived from the polymerization of mevalonic acid.

- the same tube is placed in the electroporation apparatus which has been calibrated at 1.75 kV and 25 ⁇ FD, while the resistance controller was in the infinite position (button ⁇ of the device).
- the cells thus received two electric shocks. The percentage of cells that survive these shocks is 20-30% o. After these shocks, the cells are taken up in DMEM 10% FCS medium and they are kept at room temperature for 10 minutes before being reseeded on a 100 mm dish. Then all the boxes are placed in a CO 2 oven and at a temperature of 37 ° C. They are then ready to undergo the selection pressure with hygromycin B.
- Vero / G418 cells electroporated in the presence of HCV RNA and containing the hygromycin B resistance gene were used for progressive pressure in the presence of hygromycin B. Once electroporated, as described above, the cells are initially placed on 100 mm boxes. After 48 hours, the cells are subjected to a low pressure of 100 ⁇ g / ml of hygromycin B and then to 200 ⁇ g / ml until they reach a confluence. They are then peeled off by the action of the trypsin / versene mixture and they are transferred to 60 mm boxes, while keeping the initial selection pressure. The cells are maintained for five to ten passages (variable) at this concentration to stabilize the cell population.
- Transplanting is done at the beginning approximately every three weeks with a 1/2 dilution of the cells and a change of medium every three to four days. After stabilization of cell growth (subculturing on average every 10 to 15 days, observations also with the general condition of the cell), these are subjected to increasing pressures in hygromycin B of the order of 50 to 100 ⁇ g / ml depending on the circumstances. Stabilization of the cell is often done after five passages under the defined pressure. Total RNA from cells growing under selection pressure was extracted and subjected to RT-PCR (PCR using retrotranscriptase) in the 5 ′ and 3 ′ non-coding regions. These being positive, the selection pressure was maintained and gradually increased.

The cells are allowed to settle and settle on the flask and the medium is not changed until three to four days later, then both thereafter until the desired cell density (8 to 10.10 6 cells / 75 cm flask 2 ).
- Vero / G418 cells are cultured on glass slides in the absence of hygromycin B and Vero / G418 + replicon cells in the presence of hygromycin B (800 ⁇ g / ml). After 3 days of culture, the cells are fixed in a PBS solution containing 4% of paraformaldehyde. The cells attached to paraformaldehyde are then treated with a solution of Triton X-100 to promote intracellular labeling. The cells are then brought into contact with specific antibodies directed against various HCV proteins and diluted in TBS (Tris Buffered saline: 20 mM Tris-HCl pH 7.5; 137 mM NaCl; 2 mM EDTA).

- RNAs are then stored at -80 ° C. c) Purification of RNAs by Cesium trifluoroacetate: CsTFA TM (Pharmacia product)
- RNA extracts prepared from cells or in some cases from biopsies by the conventional thiocyanate guanidium method are also purified by centrifugation on Cesium trifluoroacetate (CsTFA) according to the procedure described by Zarlenga and Gamble (1987) . This thus makes it possible to obtain an RNA preparation devoid of DNA, proteins and in certain cases of glycogen for RNAs isolated from hepatocytes.
